Hello. I need the correct UID and GID to be written to the log file when backing up, rather than being installed on the files in the copy.
When using the fake-super option, symlinks are stored as files, consequently, an inexperienced user will not be able to turn this file into a symlink just by copying it And then analyzing the log I can write a bash script to restore UID and GID files On 20/02/2017 10:43 PM, Sergey Dugin wrote: > On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 7:22 AM, Sergey Dugin <d...@qwarta.ru> wrote: > %G the gid of the file (decimal) or "DEFAULT" > Why "DEFAULT"? > The DEFAULT usually indicates that rsync isn't preserving the gid > value at all (so it doesn't have any group info for the file) but it > can also mean that the receiver doesn't have permission to set that > group value.
